Introduction

I'm not a Windows developer, I've been somehow involved with Unix and Linux almost all my coder life. This means that I developed this application with the tools I'm most familiar with, which usually means lots of command line :)

So my tools of choice were Cygwin, VIM and GIT :)

If somebody decides to port this to VisualStudio or some other IDE, please go ahead and send me your changes :)

Obtaining The Source Code

The project is host on github.com, so you can grab the git repository from there:

Build Instructions

APme was developed under Cygwin using GNU/C and the vim editor.

So, in order to successfully build APme you will need Cygwin with several development tools installed:

• Go to the Cygwin Homepage and download and run the Cygwin installer (setup.exe)
• During the installation phase, make sure to select the following packages:
  • mingw64-i686-gcc-core: the MinGW 32-bit compiler
  • make: the GNU Make tool
  • perl: the Perl interpreter, only if you wish to generate the release notes

After you're done, open up a shell window, change your current directory to the APme source code directory and simply type make. This should produce a win32 application in the src directory (src/APme.exe).

Dependencies

This tool require PCRE to compile properly. If not present, the build system will automatically download the PCRE sources from the internet and compile them.
